Prequel. Chapter Thirty-Seven: It's King Chen
"King Chen? You say it's King Chen? He has been carrying it since he was a child? ”
He was taken aback at my excitement, "yes, what's wrong?" ”
Bai Lixuan would never lie to me.
King Chen, two years ago...
I thought back to the reason he told me that day - "Three months ago, when I was stationed at the border gate, I met a friend in the rivers and lakes, he gave it to me, you don't know her, and she has never been to South Vietnam, are you satisfied?" ”
If he had told me the truth, I might have told myself that it was just a coincidence.
But he lied to me, and he lied to me for no reason in the eyes of everyone, and I can't doubt it at the moment.
He has had it since he was a child, and he has carried it with him since he was a child.
Habitually reached out and touched the bracelet on his hand, only to find that there was nothing on his hand, and when he decided to let go of the past, he had already taken it off and put it away. Could it be, could it be him...
"Yi'er, what's wrong with you?"
I didn't have time to say a word to Bai Lixuan anymore, so I ran into the house with a smoke, thinking about what he said to me after he rescued me in the Lake of Forgetfulness at this moment.
"On that day, Concubine Huixian wanted me to marry King Chen, and I would refuse, let alone them."
"Then do you think King Chen is better than them?"
"Miss Su, you have good looks, good temperament, and you are the concubine of the prime minister of the dynasty, and there are many good men who like you, why do you have to guard that person?"
"But you saved me, and you are my savior."
"I'll pay you back."
"My mother's surname is Ling, and I follow her surname."
"Remember, I saved your life, and if you want to die in the future, you must first ask me if I agree."
He also said that his surname was Ling and his mother's surname was Ling.
"I have no father or mother since I was a child, and I only heard my adoptive parents say that my mother's surname is Ling, so I follow my mother's surname."
He obviously said the same thing as Brother Yun, but at that time, what was I thinking? I didn't think of it at all.
Why should he stay at the border, but he appeared in Peach Blossom Village so coincidentally, and saved me in the Lake of Forgetfulness.
"Second sister, what's wrong with you?"
When I entered the room, I just saw Xingyi, she was very surprised to see me in such a hurry, I rummaged through the cabinets and took out the bracelet from the box, this was the only thing he left me before leaving, he said, he would come to me, he told me to wait for him, but I waited so long, he didn't come.
"After Concubine Bai Shu died, the Bai family wanted to avenge her, but there was no way to move Concubine Huixian, and then they thought of King Chen, when King Chen was ten years old, Bai Yushi found someone to assassinate him..."
"Because I was injured at that time, and I still have scars."
When he was rescued by Mu Jing, he was ten years old. At that time, he was exactly ten years old.
He was also injured at the beginning, right out of the corner of his eye, and he hated looking in the mirror at that time, so why did King Chen wear a mask all year round, because... Because of that scar...
Brother Yun's scar, that location, size, I am very familiar with it, if I see it, I will definitely recognize it.
With the bracelet clutched tightly in both hands, tears streaming down my face, I looked into the box, and there was one thing inside, the pair of earrings in his cloak.
"It's so cold, why are you dressed like this and go out."
"Your Highness must like her very much."
"She is the first, and only, person I love in my life. Unfortunately, before I could give it to her, she had already left me. ”
That's my favorite thing, and if it's him, he'll know it's me.
I don't believe that he will appear in Peach Blossom Village for no reason, and he happened to save me in time when I threw myself into the lake, he must have known it a long time ago, he already knew that it was me, but he didn't come to me, he and Mu Jing told a big lie together, wanting to hide it from me for the rest of my life.
Did he change his mind? He doesn't want me to know, so he wants me to believe that he's gone, and wants me to cut off my thoughts about him, why?
But I don't believe it, he must have something unspeakable, he still has mine in his heart, he should have me in his heart...
"Xingyi, you say, could it be him?"
Xingyi hesitated for a moment, looked at the pair of earrings on my hand and slowly spoke, "You mean, King Chen?" ”
"Second sister, this matter is only for you to measure."
After a moment's hesitation, she asked again, "If it really is, would you recognize him?" ”
Those images flashed in my mind again and again, if, if it was really him, would I recognize him? I don't know, I just want to know the truth, I just want to know why? Why did he lie to me like that?
He went to find Yang that day, and their relationship was clearly very good, I could ask Yang, I could only ask Yang.
"Second sister, where are you going, I'll go with you."
Xingyi was afraid that something would happen to me, so she pulled me all the way and refused to let go.
If it was really him, then back then, when he left Peach Blossom Village, he must have returned to the palace, he knew my identity, knew that I was in the capital, but he never looked for me in the future.
The subordinates of Murong Mansion said that the two of them went out together shortly after King Chen came to him yesterday, and King Chen had already returned to the palace, but he had not come back yet, and he had not explained where he was going before leaving, but the son of Yang Yang had always been like this, doing whatever he wanted, and often disappeared, obviously the people of Murong Mansion had become accustomed to it.
But he didn't tell anyone where he was going, and he didn't know when he would be back, so I couldn't find him, and I couldn't ask anything.
Xingyi heard the news that Yang was not in the house, and hurriedly pulled me to go back, saying again and again that she was afraid that I would do something bad for me, and asked me to calm down first when I went back.
I also knew in my heart that everything was just my speculation now, and maybe it wasn't exactly what I thought, and I hoped that it was true, but also that I was just thinking about it.
Xingyi told me if I didn't go directly to ask King Chen, and I don't know when I will come back, he sometimes goes out for a few months, and I already know about this matter, after all, I still have a Lou Yihang by my side.
But I don't want to see King Chen, and I don't want to ask him anything.
I just want to wait for Yang Yang to come back now, I hope he can give me an answer, I just want to know the truth.
What did the king of Richen say when he came to find him? Water Jade Villa? What kind of place is that, I've never heard of.
Concubine Huixian and the queen in the harem, the Murong family has not liked the concubine for many years, last time Zhenyang himself said that the Bai family wanted to assassinate King Chen, and their Murong family was also involved in that matter, and that Zhenyang was still so close to King Chen.
And King Chen did not care about the revenge of the assassination back then, and he has always had a good relationship with Chongyang.
"Yuyin, tell me everything you know about King Chen."
"What does Miss want to know?"
"You know, tell me."
I don't know anything about King Chen, and I don't know about it, I only know that he is not liked by His Majesty, and there is almost no intersection with others in the palace except for the concubine who raised him.
Yuyin told me that King Chen's birth mother was a lowly mother, and that she was only a noble man when she gave birth to him, and that she died of illness before he was a month, and that His Majesty probably did not like his mother or dislike him.
It wasn't until Concubine Huixian was framed by Concubine Lan that she couldn't get pregnant, that she took the initiative to propose to His Majesty to raise him.
Concubine Huixian is arrogant and has never taken anyone in her eyes, but she loves King Chen from the bottom of her heart, although she is not her own, but she is better than her own.
When King Chen was thirteen or fourteen years old, he followed General Ouyang to fight abroad, and although he made a lot of military achievements, His Majesty never liked him.
Two years ago, he left Beijing suddenly, and asked His Majesty to be stationed at the border, at that time, it was because of Murong Ling's matter, speaking of this Murong Ling, she was really a strange person, it was obviously she herself who claimed to like King Chen, and turned her back on Lou Yihang, and now when she comes back, she grabs me again, and keeps me away from Lou Yihang many times.
Murong Ling's beauty is indeed rare, but with her temperament, she should not be able to stand the fact that the person who once liked her so much suddenly changed her mind and turned to others.
Even if you don't like it, you can't tolerate that the other party has someone else in your heart, and I wish everyone was around you.
When Brother Yun was rescued by Mu Jing, he was injured all over his body and was in a coma for two days before he woke up.
At that time, he was only ten years old, at such a young age, he was chased and killed, and there was no way to ask for help in the barren mountains and wilderness, how desperate he was, and how did he support himself alone.
When I first met him, I still thought that he smiled like Brother Yun, and Lou Yihang, all said that among the princes today, King Chen is the most like His Majesty, and King Ling and King Chen are the most similar, so when I first saw Lou Yihang, I thought he was very familiar, and later I felt very similar to the person in my dream.
How could there be such a coincidence at this time, how could there be so many people like him.
It's him, it's him, he's my brother.
He's really not dead, he's really alive.
When I returned the earrings, when he talked to me, when he told me stories when he was in the Lake of Forgetfulness, it was obviously the same as when I was a child, he was so gentle with me, telling me stories. They were so similar, but I didn't recognize them sooner.
I obviously suspected it, but because of his few words, I didn't continue to think about it, I obviously suspected that Mu Jing was lying to me, but I didn't ask him, I should have recognized him, I should have recognized him a long time ago.
